Grandmother told Sashka: “Happiness is a bird of passage.” So it fluttered up one not-so-joyful day and flew away, it seemed, forever. And then Sashka Kotova became Sandrine Katz, came up with a program of revenge and began to live contrary to the plan of fate, the advice of her neighbor and common sense. And what do you think? Happiness did not even begin to fly away from the small Estonian town: turning around in the air, it immediately rushed towards Sashka again - new, unfamiliar, incredible. That’s why she didn’t notice that everything around her was also topsy-turvy and also contrary. How else? In the novels of Svetlana Borminskaya, things are never complete without miracles and oddities.
